So, on the one hand Barack Obama is out there blaming the sky’s color on George W. Bush, and on the other hand he is taking claim for keeping those same tax rates, (which have been in place for over a decade now,) as his tax cuts.
Take-a-way quote, “I know that private enterprise is sitting on tons of capital, tons of cash, just waiting for those idiots in Washington to take their foot off of the brakes.”
Thomas DiLorenzo explains the differences between Mercantilism and Capitalism, which some of you may know under different names, crony capitalism and the free market price system. Often times while debating folks from the left, they’ll compare the results often achieved by the free market system with Perfection, and declare that since the system I advocate is not indeed Utopia exemplified, it must be abolished for their system, all the while never holding their results to the same standard. The results of those nations who did inflict Socialism and or Marxism upon their populace are indeed replete with the very results that they claim to abhor. This is when the blinders and the rose tinted glasses seem to be put on their faces. The power to lie to oneself is far more damaging than when those lies are told to others.

My Beretta 92 FS will hold 16+1 rounds, and they make a polymer-frame pistol (the PX-4 Storm) that will do the same, so you’re not gaining a lot of capacity with that 5.6X28. And 9 mm is the most common centerfire ammo sold in the US -- widely available and relatively cheap compared to anything other than a .22 rimfire.

That Ruger Speed Six I temporarily owned was purtier than that. No gold plating, but full Class B engraving, with a miniature brass VA State Trooper’s badge inletted on the left side of the frame. Never fired, and probably never will be. I certainly wasn’t going to fire it, which is why I sold it. Pity -- it was a nice handling piece… And if it had been in the rather rare 9 mm, I would have kept it anyway, but it was a .357 magnum.

ADDENDUM -- And a month or so ago, I ran across another of the VA State Police commemerative Speed Six pieces when a guy on the Ruger Collector’s website asked me to put him in touch with the collector that bought mine. There were 850 of them made, so mine sure wasn’t unique. Mine went to a guy that actually works for the VA State Police and who collects their limited edition guns, so at least I know it went someplace where it is appreciated. That beats sitting in a cabinet or drawer in my place.
@ Mike C.:

@ Lily:
They are really cool looking laptops. I would have gotten the green light as my favorite color is green. They look like they should fly or something.
@ huckfunn:
I bought it from a friend of the older daughter’s who just wanted it out of her house. She got it in the divorce from her ex, who was a former Trooper -- he had two of them. She had no sentimental attachment to it, knew jack about guns, and probably would have sold it at a yard sale for the first $ 100 bill that came along. I couldn’t stand that, so I bought it for a fair price. But I always intended to pass it along to a collector rather than keep it. I have to spend my few gun bucks on shooters, not cabinet queens. I remitted the difference between my buying and selling price to the lady I bought it from, so I didn’t make a dime off the deal. I’m not a gun dealer, after all. But I did own it for a little while, so that’s a memory.
@ Dolphin:
They are so cool…I’ve had my eye on them for awhile and thought when this one started to go…Alienware is what I want. Green looks good too….I like green and blue…but they got me blue.

@ Mike C.:
I have a similar story but it went the other way. When my father-in-law died, my wife and I went up to Columbus OH for the funeral. He had some war trophies that he had brought back from Germany including a Mauser 98K (Anberg 1917), a big Nazi banner and Walther PPK in the holster in A-1 condition. We brought back the banner and the Mauser and a few other items. I don’t remember why I didn’t bring back the Walther. At any rate, my wife’s only sister and husband are the kind of folks who are just not comfy around guns. She saw an ad in the Columbus paper that the Columbus PD would give $25 to anyone turning in old guns. And you know the rest of the story
@ Lily:
Glad you got what you wanted! I don’t spend a lot on myself, but when I find something I really want, I will research the heck out of it and then save for it. One of these things was a mp3 player (ended up with an iPod), I refinanced our house and the iPod was my reward. Hubby rarely goes without if it is something (within reason) he really needs/wants. It may not be tomorrow, but in a couple of months. Fortunately/unfortunately I am the one that handles our finances.
@ Dolphin:
Finances are split between me and hubby. I handle household stuff. He handles insurance, medical and savings. I normally don’t want a specific item..but on a new laptop I knew I wanted an Alienware. I’ve been waiting about 6 years for it. Right now I’ll have smooth transcation once it gets here from this laptop and the new one. Last time I had to get a new laptop was 6 years ago. I tripped and broke it so I lost all my information …this time should go smooth. I am so happy. Been wanting one of those bad boys for a while.
